Year 3 Project - Through the Ages
In the Through the Ages project, your child will learn about three different periods of British prehistory: the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. They will discover terminology relating to time and sequence dates to make a timeline. They explore the changes to people, homes and lifestyle throughout the different periods and investigate examples of prehistoric settlements, monuments, burials and artefacts in detail. They will also study how technology improved over time, including how the discovery of different metals changed the way that people lived.

English
Our first unit after the half term break is based on a book called 'Escape from Pompeii'. We shall spend time analysing the text, reading it with fluency and expression each day and then building our own story based on the events in the book. Eventually we will write an extended piece of the same name where the class will use the grammatical features and punctuation learned through the book study.

Please encourage your child to practice telling the time at home, using an analogue clock. You can use https://toytheater.com/clock/ to help support this (give them a time to make or you can make a time and ask them what it is).
Please encourage your child to access TT Rockstars which will help them with their Times Table fluence. They should focus on the following times tables: 2,5,10 (recapping year 2 work) and 3, 4 and 8.
There are also assignments on Doodle which will help support in class learning.
